Cool Technologies features commercially available equipment using natural refrigerants as well as ‘not-in-kind’ technologies which do not use vapour compression cycles. It also features case studies of companies deploying these technologies and enjoying the benefits of the greater energy efficiency that many of these systems boast.

Fionnuala Walravens, senior climate campaigner at EIA, said: “By understanding what Cool Technologies are available and working well for others, manufacturers and businesses can make the best choice for the future.”

The website, targeted primarily at business in the developing world, is designed to help raise awareness of and build confidence in HFC-free alternatives for clean cooling worldwide. It is being relaunched to coincide with the 31st Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Rome, Italy.
